I passed him on the Stuart Highway and stopped to take his picture -
He started his run in Adelaide South Australia and will finish in Darwin, Northern Territory, a distance of 3,000kms (about 1,900mi).
He is fund raising for Depression and the support group, Beyond Blue. It is an enormous undertaking.
This is the Stuart Highway, a relentless ribbon of tarmac stretching from Adelaide in South Australia to Darwin at the top end of Oz.
I drove the length of it on the way up and am on my way back. I will have driven 8,000kms by the time I get home.
Presently I'm at Alice Springs at the heart of Australia.

The red earth is all pervasive, it even gets in your blood - you've heard the expression, "a fair dinkum red-blooded Aussie", well that's how it came to be, mate

The right side is the safe side of the road for a pedestrian or in this case a runner to be on as he is able to see and avoid oncoming traffic. Never have your back to motororists travelling at 130kmph (NT speed limit).

But a cycle like that is not a pedestrian and is required to travel on the left hand side of the road, even in the Northern Territory. I have also travelled those roads and seen many cyclists doing the long trek from Adelaide to Darwin, or the reverse. They were all travelling on the left hand side.

Edit: Oh I see! I was wrong. He is really a pedestrian pushing a pram, rather than a cyclist riding a bicycle.

Yes Larry, he's pushing a cart of sorts, custom builr to carry his needs for the long run.

I have to agree OM. But he's dedicated to a good cause. Not an ounce of fat on him all muscle and bone. I wish!
